Stephanie Steinke

Provenance is run by Stephanie Steinke in North Dakota. She has degrees in archaeology, classics and history, which means she has spent a long time reading old handwriting and arguing with footnotes.

In a museum, provenance is the documented chain of events that brought an object to where it is today: who made it, who owned it, how it moved. Provenance applies the same standard to people. Every link in the chain has a source, or it is marked as a gap.
